Why The Showroom Visit Matters
A showroom visit gives clients something online images cannot always provide, true scale, texture, colour, grain and finish. Flooring is a long term investment, especially for commercial premises where durability, safety and maintenance matter as much as appearance.
At Alba Flooring’s brand new cinematic tiles showroom at 574 Wickham Road, Shirley, CR0 8DN, clients can explore wood flooring, laminate, luxury vinyl tile and quality tiles in person. With over 100 display boards onsite, the showroom includes hardwood engineered boards, solid wood flooring, parquet, chevron blocks, chevron boards and unfinished designs for bespoke finishes.
Clients visiting the showroom can also benefit from 10% off for all walk in clients*.

Choosing The Right Flooring For Your Property
The best flooring choice depends on the room, the level of foot traffic, the design brief, the maintenance expectations and the long term use of the space. A busy hallway, office reception, restaurant floor or rental property will have different needs from a quiet bedroom or private lounge.
Alba Flooring offers only high quality wooden flooring and tiles, selected for durability, resilience and timeless appeal. The team works with trusted industry leaders including Ted Wood, Amtico Flooring, Woodpecker and Tuscania Ceramiche, giving clients access to respected flooring brands with proven performance.
Whether you are looking for classic oak, modern herringbone, elegant parquet, marble effect tiles, porcelain tiles, wide plank engineered wood, premium laminate or LVT, Alba Flooring can help you compare design led options with practical performance.
Planning The Project Before Installation
Once the product is chosen, the next stage is proper planning. This includes accurate measuring, checking the existing floor, identifying preparation work and understanding how the flooring will connect between rooms.
Subfloor preparation is one of the most important parts of any flooring project. Even the highest quality product can look poor or fail early if the surface underneath is uneven, damp, unstable or unsuitable. Depending on the property, preparation may include uplifting old flooring, fitting plywood, priming, applying smoothing compound and levelling the floor.
For commercial clients, preparation is especially important because the finished surface may need to withstand staff movement, customers, furniture, cleaning routines and daily wear. The Health and Safety Executive provides useful guidance on slips and trips in the workplace, which is particularly relevant when choosing flooring for commercial or public facing environments.
From Installation To Finished Space
Professional installation brings the whole journey together. Alba Flooring installs wood flooring, laminate flooring, LVT and quality tiles for homes, extensions, offices, shops, hospitality venues and commercial interiors.
Details such as trims, door bars, skirting, expansion gaps, room transitions and floor levels all influence the final appearance. A well fitted floor should not feel like an afterthought. It should feel connected to the architecture, the layout and the way the space is used.
One Alba Flooring specialist explains, “The best flooring projects are decided before the first plank or tile is fitted. When the product choice, subfloor preparation and finishing details are planned properly, the final result looks better and lasts longer.”
That is why expert guidance matters. Alba Flooring supports clients from the first conversation through to the final finish, helping avoid rushed decisions, unsuitable materials and poor installation outcomes.
Alba Flooring has opened a brand new cinematic tiles showroom at 574 Wickham Road, Shirley, CR0 8DN. The showroom is convenient for clients in Croydon, Shirley, West Wickham, Addiscombe, South Croydon, Sanderstead, Elmers End and Monks Orchard.
With over 100 display boards onsite, the showroom includes hardwood engineered boards, solid wood flooring, parquet, chevron blocks, chevron boards and unfinished designs ready for a bespoke look.
